God is displeased at the diffidence of souls who love Him sincerely and whom He Himself loves.

There is nothing more pleasing to God, than to see a soul who patiently and serenely bears whatever crosses it is sent; this is how love is made, by putting lover and loved one on the same level. . .

But You never reject a repentant and humble heart.
